What Rims To Get For My R32?

[scathing]

For $3k you can buy genuine & new - import them but be prepared to wait a while to receive them.

RAYS Engineering advertises an 18x7.5 TE37 on their web site for ￥81900 each, which is around AUD$1000 a rim with the current exchange rate.

If you can land them in Australia for AUD$1K under their home-country RRP (I'll assume you're planning on dodging Customs Duty and GST) I'd love to find out where from.

thanks guys for the info, it really helped

god theres some porn-O-grapic rims out there! offt!

im gonna look around for some second hand jap rims as mentioned, thats a good idea!

i was only gonna put 18s on cos i thought it would look good,

but if 17's are better, then ill go 17's - it doesnt faise me

i just want phat offset and rims in the rear

i keep leaning towards the shadow alloy and dark bronze, they are hot!!! but the theme on my car is black on black on black

hard decision!!!

[TKR]

hmmm i really like drift teks look hot on a 32 =]

[Shiv]

i was looking at the shiney black koya's in 18s, they look hot

but im liking the dish on the Work XD9 in the gunmetal or bronze in 18 x 10.0 atm

2 many hot rims out there to choose from

I know some people hate cheap-brand wheels, but the two shortlisted wheels for my SW20 (if I bought new) were:

Koya Drifteks

Lenso D1Rs.

You already know what the Drifteks look like. The D1Rs look like this:

They should give you a pretty nice amount of dish (the spoke does curve in near the barrel) and if you're willing to run camber, streched tyres and massaged guards they do come in GT-R offsets.

Even without, cars with as shitty offsets as S2000s can get good dish:

Yeah, your definately better off with 17"s, to many people go large diameter rims just for the hell of it, and they actually perform worse.

You need a certain amount of rubber, running on rubber bands just doesn't perform well at all.

woah..could not believe that you said you wanna spend 2-3k on wheels and u wanted bsa te37 copies? also the lack of jap rim recommendations lol. just doesn't sound right?

u could buy 18x10 +18 xd9's and powder coat them black for about 2500?

Your price of $1k may be a little high as even the obvious importer lists them at a discount to that figure.

But you are right in that $3k for an TE37 in 18" is a non starter given the current exchange rate. Other of the Volk rims are doable within that budget.

I would be happier paying a bit more than that for the real thing than paying for a knock off.

Check out these wheels Work XD9 madbray (MBG) These are the latest finish to just come out !

[Shiv]

ive just settled on a set of 18' bronze ray te37's in immac condition

18x8.5 + 22 front

18x9.5 +22 rear

so i cant wait to pick them up in a few weeks!

[Shiv]

at first, i was looking at getting the xd9 18 x 10 in matte bronze but the 10' wide wouldnt fit on the rear ( as it is a GTST with GTR front guards) without alot of guard mod, adjustable camber arms and better coils

and i didnt want the 18 x 9 because i wanted the dish of the 18 x 10.

and i was also looking at the BSA replica TE37s only because i never thought id actually come into reach of a genuine set of ray te37s.

That is Colin's. Look really good in real life too.

Shiv: You might wanna check if your car will fit those offsets. Numbers look like a GTR offset to me. If so, you'll need to roll some guards or do something to make them fit.

[Shiv]

ive gotta roll the rear guards, ill have to get camber arms, but once on, they will look fat!

Thats what I thought too. But yea, they will look fat!

True, but that's offset by the fact that importers have to pay to ship them from Japan whereas the local retailers would not.

I paid around $4K for mine about 2 years ago. It was before the bubble burst.
